The lady in charge was startled, waved her hands and said, "Ouch, where did you hear this?" How dare you use such nonsense? ”

Dong Qianmo said: "This is the secret of Nianxiang Palace, I'm not wrong, right?" ”

The lady in charge was already anxious, and stopped: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, can't the slave call your ancestor?" ”

Dong Qianmo said in a consultative tone: "Then please don't be afraid of sin, when the Queen Mother asks for other silk eggs later, you can bring out a bowl of egg pulp." After speaking, he added another ear warning.

The lady in charge asked in horror, "Can that work?" ”

Dong Qianmo narrowed his eyes, hid a pair of black pupils, and said slowly: "We'll see later." ”

A moment later, there was a whimpering sound in the Nianxiang Palace, and the ears only felt that the four bodies were connected, and there was an indescribable wonder.

The Queen Mother only tasted it for a short time, and she had a sense of fascination, and she was so drunk that she couldn't help but secretly say, what a smart child! Whether she can make a bet or not, I have to find a way to keep her with my old man and put her in the workshop.

Dong Qianmo asked the fake Dong Xuanying to supplement the side drum, at the beginning, the drum beat was still hesitant, and then it was completely carried away by the sound of the flute, and he couldn't even make his own decisions, so he played the drum with both hands.

At this time, the feeling in the heart of the fake Dong Xuanying can only be described as horror.

Because she studied in Oxfam Water Pavilion, she has always been above the top and extremely conceited. Over the years, she has walked between the rivers and lakes and temples, and has been touted to a very high status, and she herself considers herself a guqin master.

It is hard to imagine that there are people outside the world, a girl from the Dong family, who is not more than sixteen years old, not only compares her, but even has higher music theory attainments than some of the famous musicians she knows.

The melodious sound of a flute even attracted the prince on the palace road half a mile away, and he stopped and listened.

After this song is played, everyone in Nianxiang Palace is intoxicated, only to feel that the bones are soft and the muscles are crisp, and there seems to be a warm current rising from the soles of the feet and flowing all over the body.

Everyone was still in the aftertaste, but a sharp-eyed little eunuch let out a low cry: "It's moved, it's cracked!" ”

On the stone table, in the brocade box, the silk egg, which was not much bigger than a quail egg, appeared a pattern, and then a wet fluffy chick broke out of its shell.

Although she looks very bad, she still makes the Queen Mother happy.

At this time, the nurse of Yuwangfu carried the little prince Xiaoli into the palace, Dong Qianmo saw it at a glance and took it from the nurse's hand.

At this time, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Okay, well, the mourning family lost the bet with the little girl of the Dong family, and the mourning family lost to her!" Then he instructed the palace people who were in charge of the birds, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you bring the other four silk eggs and let the little girl of the Dong family play a song "Birth Ceremony" to promote hatching! ”

Dong Qianmo hugged Xiaoli and stepped forward to say to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother Rongyu, this "Birth Ceremony" courtier can only blow once, and the silk egg can only hatch a chick. ”

The Queen Mother was puzzled and asked, "What is the reason for this?" Why don't you blow it anymore? ”

At this time, the palace suddenly quieted down, dozens of people, some of whom knew the truth that the bird's egg had been broken, most of them didn't know, and they all looked at Dong Qianmo nervously, not understanding how she dared to reject the Queen Mother bluntly.

As she gets older, the Queen Mother's temperament is more childish, and she must get what she wants. Besides, her words are the decree of Yi, and in this harem, it is not far from the holy decree.

Dong Qianmo shook his head and said softly: "It's not that the courtiers refuse to blow, but that there is only one divine bird in the world, at most it is matched with a female and a male, and any more will be against the sky." Queen Mother, you think, why did the two birds of Qingluan Fire and Phoenix leave just after laying eggs? Don't they have parent-child nature? ”

The Queen Mother slowly frowned and asked, "Then according to you, why?" ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Just because they know that the divine birds are unparalleled in the world, as long as they are still in the world, their children will not see the sky, so they can only endure the pain and leave." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother seemed to remember something, and she was a little sad.

After a long time, she said: "Even if what you say is reasonable, the mourning family still wants you to play another flute as it is, and try to hatch other silk eggs, if you can't succeed, the mourning family is willing to believe it." ”

Dong Qianmo still insisted: "No, it won't work if you come again." ”

The Queen Mother was rejected repeatedly, her face sank, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows became cold.

The palace man next to him stood straight, didn't even dare to pant loudly, and said in his heart, this Miss Dong has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, right? Doesn't she know that in this world, who dares to make the Queen Mother unhappy, that person will never be happy for the rest of her life!

In this silence, Dong Qianmo smiled slightly, and said in a warm tone of spring breeze: "Queen Mother, you have been raising birds for many years, and you must know that it is not a day's work for birds to hatch from eggs to birds. At first, the egg white and yolk are distinct, and after incubating for a while, the yolk condenses into a small bird fetus. As the hatching days lengthen, the bird's fetus grows larger and larger, and the nutrients in the egg white yolk are sucked less and less, and the more it is squeezed, the drier it becomes. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes, of course the mourning family knows." When the bird's fetus is half-formed, it can be cooked and burned, which is called a hairy egg, which is a foreign food. ”

Dong Qianmo explained in detail: "Although "Birth Ceremony" is good, there are things to be done and things to be done. If the bird's egg has been condensed into a bird's fetus, and the nutrients have been drained but the shell cannot be broken, at this time, the "Birth Ceremony" can add a handful of firewood to help the bird gain a trace of strength to break the shell. On the other hand, if the egg has always been in the same shape as the white and yolk is clear, and it has been the case for the past six months, the egg is a dead egg and will never hatch from the bird. ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "Then you mean to say that because the divine bird is unique, and this one has come out of the shell, the rest must be dead?" ”

Dong Qianmo praised: "The Queen Mother is really smart, that's right!" If you don't believe me, let's make another bet. ”

The Queen Mother asked, "What kind of bet?" ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Let the head of the bird raising mother break the other four silk eggs and put them in a bowl." The courtiers bet that all four were dead. ”

"What did you say?!" The Queen Mother glared at her in disbelief, "You want to break the silk of the mourning family?" ”

"An egg that can't hatch can't be called a divine bird."

"No way!" The Queen Mother disagreed, "Even if you can't hatch the silk, the mourning family must keep this thought." ”

At this time, Xiao Li in her arms wrinkled her little face and began to cry.

After coaxing him twice, Dong Qianmo said: "Queen Mother, don't you want to hear it, my bet?" ”

"What bet?" For this bold and bold little girl of the Dong family, the Queen Mother felt that it was interesting to talk to her.

"If one of the four silk eggs is a bird's fetus, I lose." Dong Qianmo said, "If I lose, I will stay in the palace and serve the Queen Mother until that chick grows up, has another nest of eggs, and hatches the bird—how about it?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was really moved.

She really likes to listen to this little girl of the Dong family give a, but she can't detain her for no reason, she has to have an explanation, so she can keep her for a few more years.

Dong Qianmo herself made such a bet, and the Queen Mother seemed to be able to get her wish as long as she pushed the boat along the river.

"No, the mourning family disagrees." The Queen Mother deliberately stayed up and did not agree, "In this way, when the silk regenerates the silk, five or six years will pass, if this silk has no spouse and can't lay eggs, you will never be able to leave the palace in the future." The mourning family is afraid that because of your ignorance for a while, you will regret endless regrets in the future. ”

Dong Qianmo squinted and said: "Being able to serve the Queen Mother is a blessing for the courtiers, so please ask the Queen Mother to bless the courtiers." She said vigorously, "Besides, the first bet I made was that the courtiers won, and the Queen Mother allowed me to pick things in this palace casually, and I will do what I say." Now, all I want is the rest of the silk eggs, and now that the eggs are mine, can I bet on them? ”

"Okay, that's it," the Queen Mother agreed, "Mama Tsuta, you can break the other four silk eggs." ”

"Yes......" the lady in charge hesitated.

"Just let Mama do it in the room and bring it out," Dong Qianmo suggested, "You don't have to break it one by one in front of the Queen Mother, and you will feel distressed." ”

"It's fine." The Queen Mother thought it was reasonable.

Mama was instructed, went down for a while, and when she came back, she had a stew pot with a porcelain lid in her hand.

The Queen Mother endured her distress and said, "Open it and take a look." ”

As soon as Mama Mao lifted the porcelain cover, dozens of eyes fell on the stew pot. I saw a shallow layer of egg white at the bottom of the bowl, and the yolk the size of four small soybeans floating, but other than that, there was no trace of a bird's fetus.

The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head again and again, but she didn't expect it to be really a dead egg!

She had seen slightly developed eggs with cobweb-like red blood streaks on the yolk. The eggs of the four birds showed no red marks at all, and it seemed that they had died a long time ago.

Dong Qianmo saw that the Queen Mother was sad, and comforted him: "In life, the grass and trees can live for three days, and the redwoods can live for three thousand years, all of which are natural principles. You've taken care of them for so long, and you've done your best for the pair of male and female birds that left, and now that you're so sad, the birds will be very guilty if they know. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, there is still one alive, and the mourning family also has a new hope." ”

Stopping her sadness for a while, the Queen Mother said: "According to the preface, the mourning family will reward you with anything in the Nianxiang Palace, Qianmo, what do you like, just say it." ”

Dong Qianmo shook Xiao Li in his arms, smiled quietly, and said, "What the courtiers want is far away in front of you. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, and Wei Qihua was even more stunned.

The Queen Mother glanced at Wei Qihua's stiff face, and then told Dong Qianmo: "Xiao Li is the treasure of chess painting, and besides, he is not from the palace, so he can't give it to you." ”

Dong Qianmo squinted his eyes and smiled innocently: "Queen Mother, you misunderstood what Qianmo meant, no matter how naughty I am, I don't dare to make such a joke - what I want is that bowl of silk egg liquid." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned again and asked: "There are many good things in this palace, why do you choose this?" ”

"I heard that the egg custard is delicious," Dong Qianmo showed a little greedy, "and I heard that the three princesses couldn't speak at all, and then you recruited famous bird breeders to hatch eggs, and once broke one, so you steamed it into egg custard for the third princess to eat, and later the third princess not only could speak, but also became the most dexterous of His Majesty's three princesses." ”

When there were several princesses under the knee of today's son, a few died later, and now there are three princesses left, and the top three princesses are the most clever and smart, and the palace people are rumored that it is because she got the opportunity and ate a divine bird egg.

When Wei Qihua heard this, he smiled and said, "Ouch, fourth cousin, you are already dexterous enough, why are you still worried about silk eggs?" I didn't know that the eggs of the original divine bird still have such benefits, and they should be eaten by my son Xiaoli! ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Well, I also feel sorry for my cousin, so I'll give him half of it." I don't know, Queen Mother, you feel sorry for me. ”

After all, the Queen Mother has words first, and besides, the silk egg has been broken, and if it is not rewarding, it can only be poured out.

"Okay," the Queen Mother was unhappy, "You can eat carefully, the three princesses will be able to recite the poetry of Xiaoya after eating one by one." You two children eat four of them, and after eating, won't you be able to compose poems and write articles? ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!" Dong Qianmo smiled from the bottom of his heart.

********

In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and news came out in Nianxiang Palace that the Queen Mother would reward Dong Qianmo with silk eggs to eat, and some people immediately couldn't sit still.

Liu Guifei had two princesses, who were seven years old, and were originally the smartest of the princesses. Later, the third princess ate the silk eggs, and suddenly opened her mind, and she became clever and lively, begging for tricks in front of the Son of Heaven, and was deeply favored.

For this reason, Liu Guifei often complained that the queen mother was partial, and only rewarded the third princess with the egg of the divine bird, and did not let the other granddaughters get clean.

But the Queen Mother has always stared at the silk yarn like a baby, who dares to worry about eating the Queen Mother's baby? Liu Guifei only blamed her daughter for her bad luck and didn't take advantage of that opportunity.

This time the situation was different, the egg liquid had already been beaten, but the Queen Mother rewarded all four eggs to the daughter of a minister.

"Hmph, her old man is really getting more and more confused," Liu Guifei said angrily, "It's a great good thing, it's always cheap to outsiders, but it doesn't think of the granddaughter of the in-laws!" ”

"Niangniang is angry," the concubine's female official said, "You have forgotten that the egg was originally designed and broken by Princess Yu, not with the permission of the Queen Mother." The young lady of the Dong family ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to fool the queen mother like this, and a few heads were not enough for her to cut off. ”

Liu Guifei turned her anger into joy and said, "That's right, how can a dying person deserve to grab egg custard with the second princess of this palace!" ”
